Program Overview

INNOVATE ON A STATE-OF-THE-ART CAMPUS IN BELFAST

Formerly focused on art, Ulster’s newly expanded, cutting-edge campus in Belfast offers exciting range of subjects, including computing, engineering, business, politics, policy, law, communication, sports, architecture, hospitality, event management, photography, and digital animation. The university focuses on active learning and employable skills, and students enjoy strong ties to industry, from film, animation, and gaming to energy and robotics.

In lively Belfast, you’ll have ample opportunities to enjoy the advantages of a modern city as you experience Irish traditions. The campus sits in the Cathedral quarter, an artsy area full of historic architecture, galleries, cafes, and street art.

Ulster also has campuses in Derry-Londonderry (offers cinematic arts, business, computing, drama, engineering, law, music, and nursing) and coastal Coleraine (include biomedical sciences, environmental sciences, journalism, media, and more).

I had so much fun and met a bunch of new people and made plenty of new friends, there was plenty of free time to travel around Europe as well which made the experience even better! Overall i would highly recommend this program to anyone engineering students looking for a study abroad program.

Amazing time in Europe

I had such a great time in Northern Ireland at Ulster University. The courses were so much fun and I got to do a lot of hands-on work which was great! The planned excursions were also a lot of fun and really well planned out for all the students in the program. There was also plenty of free time to travel around Europe and explore the city of Derry! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to study abroad.
